Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell were both recently distancing themselves from Ted Haggert saying they didn't know him and he wasn't very important in the evangelical movement.
Ted who ran the National Evangelical Association...representing 30 million of the estimated 60-70 million evangelicals in America.
Ted who is featured prominently in this CNN special

Isn't this what Peter did to Jesus in the garden of Gesthemane? Denied knowing him?
Ironic, huh?

didn't actually look at the link, did you?
And I'm sure CNN is nervous because you don't think they are credible.

Yes they have even said that he was a minor figure with no following. They denied knowing him even when they have sat on the same boards and been in interviews together. They have mentioned him on their TV shows before he got busted.
PS, when I try to open the video in your linked site my player refuses, it says the file is corrupt, ironic ain't it!

All i can say is that these three men do not represent Christianity in its entirety. They are all men who have had falls while in the ministry, both Roberson and Falwell have made apologies and have their skeptics--- only God knows whether they were sincere or not in their repentance.
What about Billy Graham, Greg Laurie, Jack Hayford, Chuck Swindoll, ...??? They don't turn on one another and have all done the world much good through their service and love for the Lord.
Something to consider. Kindly,

I think everything we experience, Jesus did too and then some
HIS life had way much more meaning then we talk about...HE was the perfect human being...and was crucified because of it..amazing life and story...these preacher men...I give them absolutely no credibility what so ever...NONE...look at that GOD forsaken Warren Jeffs and how does this happen in this day and age in this country??? Did I mention Jimmy Swaggert and Jim Bakker...don't get me started.

merchants of the temple,? is that what are you talking about?
30 millions evangelicals ,translated in terms of money,
practically means 35 to 45% revenue earnings ,that's a big piece of cake,sir, now ,the end results of this situation is very sad ,
in terms of showing an inappropriate attitude and disrespect
for all of the evangelicals in their flock,instead of living in respect
tolerance ,and compassion as is supposed to be,within each
other

Both Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell have deep Christian love for Ted Haggard, as do all Christians.
